What the audit found

Boku Direct Carrier Billing is a carrier-based digital checkout, not a mobile wallet. It relies on an eligible phone account, a participating carrier, an enabled merchant, and the limits applied to that line.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Boku direct carrier billing work?

At an enabled checkout, you enter a mobile number, receive a one-time password by SMS, and confirm the payment. The charge is added to the phone bill or deducted from prepaid credit.

What are Boku casino limits?

Boku's terms say per-transaction, subscription, and period limits are imposed by Boku and the wireless carrier. The exact amount depends on carrier, country, merchant, account status, and the checkout shown to you.

Does Boku charge casino deposit fees?

Boku says the wireless carrier may charge for data or messages, and the checkout or merchant can have its own price. Do not rely on a universal fee claim; review the amount displayed before confirming the OTP.

Can I withdraw casino winnings to Boku?

Direct carrier billing is designed to charge purchases to a phone account, not to receive a general cash payout. If a casino offers Boku for deposits, choose and verify a separate withdrawal method before playing.

Can I charge back a Boku casino payment?

Boku's current product page describes DCB as having no chargeback and supporting full or partial refunds. Refunds depend on the merchant and carrier flow. Report unauthorized use promptly, but an authorized gambling loss is not a refund reason.
